How does Weekly Winners work?
Instead of being tournament-style, where teams accumulate points throughout the season to advance, Weekly Winners awards prizes to the highest-scoring teams for each scoring week throughout the season.
What is Weekly Winners?
Weekly Winners is like other Best Ball contests - your drafted teams compete for the duration of a specified season.
Like standard best ball drafts, entrants select players through a snake draft.
The players selected for an individual entry will remain the same for the entire season and score at the end of each scoring week.
The size of each snake draft group may vary between Best Ball Weekly Winners contests.
How does scoring work?
Scoring weeks may vary in size due to various scheduling factors.
Contest details regarding multi-entry amount, prize allotment, group size, player pool, and slate size may vary.
At the end of each scoring week, the entrant(s) with the highest scores are awarded prizes based on the prize breakdown specified on that contest's info card.
What happens in the event of a tie?
In the event of a tie during a given scoring week, entries included in the tie will evenly split the prizes that their finishing positions cover.
For example, if 1st place pays $30, 2nd place pays $20, and 3rd place pays $10, and there is a 3-way tie for 1st, the 3 winners will split a $60 prize. The 2nd highest unique score would then finish in 4th place.
Can I cancel my draft entry?
If the draft room is yet to fill, you can leave the draft by selecting the "i" in the top right corner and then selecting "leave draft." Refunds for such cancellations are processed automatically shortly after successfully exiting the draft.
Please note that once the draft begins, we are unable to remove you from the contest.

Why Do My Players Show “0” For Scoring?
Instead of managing your lineup or picking up players off waivers, your team is automatically optimized based on your players' performance each week.
If a player's points aren't high enough to be a starter that week, then that means that player will contribute 0 points for that week.

Are Football Drafts PPR?
All Draft contests on the platform default to half-PPR, meaning a reception is worth 0.5 fantasy points. Occasionally, depending on the contest style, Underdog may use full PPR, which grants 1 fantasy point per reception. These are typically only showdown-style contests consisting of one game.
